My Riffs

It’s hard to gain without some type of pain. Sacrifice is a pain but there’s something to gain from it.  The pain of lifting heavy things leads to gains in strength. The pain’s of life can do the same thing. Don’t waste the pain. Gain from and through the pain. 

I'm pursuing something. You're pursuing something.  Even the most unmotivated individual is pursuing something. Their chief pursuit may be to avoid doing anything. But it's still a pursuit. Where we spend out time usually shows what is important and what we're truly pursuing. If you aren't spending time on it, you're not pursuing it. Your time is the great revealer.

Avoidance usually expands. The more we avoid the thing we dislike or don’t want to do, it seems to grow even more.  The only way to make it shrink is to address it. 

The amount I can help is proportionate to the amount I show care. 

Every morning is a new possibility.  Start fresh every day. Rest and reset. Make the most cause we don’t know how many of those we have left. Start each day fresh and like it could be out last. 

The places of joy can be better appreciated when you’ve experienced the depths of grief.
